Descartes
Enough jumping to conclusions on who Descartes is. We'll probably never know who it is, and its obviously not worth wasting out time on. It's not Morton and it's not Winetroub, and those were fucking stupid guesses. Descartes is some idiot who can't even read enough of our archives to realize that Eamonn is Jewish and probably is not going to be homophobic (nor had he said anything remotely close to it either). He's trying to stir us all up and its working, leave the idiot alone. He fails to even see the difference between homophobia and the use of the word "Gay" as an insult. Homophobia, taken literally, means someone who is actually frightened or scared of someone who is a homo. I don't think anyone on this page would run like mad from someone who was gay. No one here is homophobic in that aspect. My step-sister is gay, and I love her just as much as my straight step-sister; it makes no difference to me.

Realize this, Descartes: 'gay' as a word started out meaning happy, nice, friendly, etc. Take the Flintstones' theme, "We'll have a gay old time...!" What was meant by that? Gay as in happy or fun. Over the years, 'gay' has taken on a meaning to indicate one that is a homo. GASP--THE MEANING CHANGED ALONG WITH A CHANCE IN SOCIETY! OH NO! Society never, ever, ever sits still. It is changing further still. The fact of the matter is that gay has taken on a THIRD definition: that of being 'bad' or 'stupid'. Is this insinuating that being gay (the second definition) is also bad or stupid? No! The definitions aren't bleeding. Society has come to take on this word as being bad or stupid as a third definition. That's a fact. Deal with it. Words change meanings. It means happy, it means homo, it means bad. That's life. Deal with it.
